Summary
Patricia Leite is an interactive developer and researcher with nine years of experience building inclusive games, iOS apps, and Unity-based interactive exhibits, currently leading tech for a live visitor-experience project as a freelancer in Paraná, Brazil. She holds a doctorate and master's in Technology and Society with a focus on game accessibility and digital game design, and multiple specialist certifications in iOS and game development. Her background spans academia—teaching programming and publishing research on game accessibility—to hands-on roles as a co-founder of an indie studio that shipped an educational game for children with hearing disabilities. Comfortable switching hats between programmer, project manager, and designer, she brings both pedagogical insight and production discipline to projects. A not-obvious strength is her long track record in educational technology dating back to Flash-era learning tools, which informs her pragmatic approach to accessible, research-driven interactive experiences.
